Planetary Gear Business Card

at 5:44 am. Filed under DIY Hacks

 

If you are looking to impress you can make a cool Planetary Gear Business Card. If that isn’t for you then have a look at this circuit board business card or this metal business card that belongs to the Woz.

"Cut from card or bristol and assemble like a sandwich. The middle layer needs to be appreciably thicker than the others; I cut it twice and glued the bits together, but I recommend using thicker paper board. To keep the planetary teeth gears from getting caught up in the window edges, bend the gear teeth down (towards the back layer) slightly before assembly. Glue down the middle (sun) gear only. You can put three or four planetary gears inside. It’s a bit tricky to assemble; a spare pair of hands helps."

    How do you cut these out without a plotter of some kind?

    This video plays up for me, the video plays slow until the audio finishes, then the video plays fine but with no sound, Plus since this clips been on when you close IE, if open on your page an error comes up.

    Cool design however I bet this is way too much work if you want to make 1000 of it to give away, but still nice out of the box idea. However gears with paper is not that new though it already seen it in pop up books.

    Hi, really nice idea; came across a metal business card the other day (http://www.irshadkhan.com/metalbusinesscard.jpg).

    Really nice design and quality.

  18. Alan Parekh Says:

    Hi Eye,

    Something looks wrong with that picture. There are lots of cut out areas that look like they should fall out. Cool looking card though! Never mind a paper cut, this card could send you to the hospital if you got cut. :)

  19. Mike Says:

    It doesn’t look like a cutout, just partially cut or engraved and blackened.
